The assassin hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his head slightly, glanced at the queen dodgingly, and said, "It's the Middle Palace!" It's the queen mother! It was the Queen Mother who ordered us to assassinate Madame Joe! ”

This statement was earth-shattering, and the room was in an uproar for a moment.

Several courtiers who followed Huo Jingxiao and Huo Jingyao lowered their heads in shock, and they didn't dare to come out. Yun Ce closed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Huo Jingrou stared at the queen in disbelief, only Emperor Qiandi did not make any movement, however, his face was already as cold as frost. Looking at Huo Jingcheng again, the same is true.

The queen came back to her senses, sneered angrily, and pointed at the assassin, "Ridiculous! How dare you arrange it for this palace? Why did this palace kill an official wife? ”

At this time, Huo Jingxiao suddenly became angry and said, "Yes, how could the queen mother do such a thing!" You must be squirting blood! With that, Huo Jingxiao raised his foot and kicked over the assassin.

Emperor Qian's eyes looked at Huo Jingxiao deeply, and he didn't say anything.

Huo Jingcheng looked at him coldly, and said lightly: "Don't be impatient, the eighth child is not angry, this hall is not angry, where does your anger come from?" ”

Huo Jingxiao said: "It's the brother who lost his temper, but the brother really didn't expect this result, and it was difficult to accept it ......for a while."

"This matter is still in the clouds, what is the result?" Huo Jingcheng asked rhetorically.

Huo Jingxiao: "Yes, what the result is, we have to look backwards." ”

"That's it! Shut up. Emperor Qiandi spoke, and the two were silent.

At this time, the queen got up and knelt in front of Emperor Qian, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has been wronged, and I hope that Your Majesty will be clear." ”

Huo Jingrou also knelt down: "Yes, father, it is really far-fetched to believe that it was the queen mother based on the rhetoric of these thieves!" If you want your son to say, kill the three of them directly, and don't listen to a word of nonsense! ”

One of the assassins hurriedly said, "Princess, we didn't talk nonsense!" It was for the princess that the queen killed Mrs. Qiao! As we all know......"

"Nonsense!" The queen suddenly scolded angrily, and looked at them with cold eyes: "What do you know? As we all know, Princess Roufu of the palace loves Qiao Fengzhi but is rejected? So you're using this as a reason to frame Hongu? Or is it well known that Princess Roufu of this palace can't get married and no one wants it, so this palace, the queen mother, wants to kill people and take her husband for her? Isn't it a great fallacy in the world! ”

"Queen, you get up and sit down first, and I will investigate this matter clearly." Emperor Qiandi said, helped her with one hand, and the queen got up and sat back in her seat, feeling a lot more settled, and said, "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust." ”

After that, Emperor Qian looked at the assassin and asked, "You keep saying that it was the queen who instructed you to assassinate Madame Qiao, but what evidence can you prove?" ”

"Your Majesty, it was Aunt Lianxiang next to the Queen Mother who came to give us an order, she gave us a lot of silver tickets, and said that we were guards, and it was only right to go into the forest to patrol, and then asked us to take the opportunity to kill Mrs. Qiao! She also said that if we don't agree, the queen will soon let us die without a place to bury! ”

Two other Assassins joined in.

"Yes, Your Majesty! I beg your majesty to learn from it! ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can let Aunt Lianxiang come and confront us!"

The queen was shocked when she heard this, and said angrily: "Nonsense! Nonsense! ”

Who knows, as soon as the queen's voice fell, she saw a guard come with a panicked look, knelt down and said: "The villain knocks on Your Majesty, knocks on the queen!" Knock on the princesses, knock on the ......"

"Alright, alright! What's up? Emperor Qiandi asked.

The guard said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is an accident in the side courtyard......

"What?" Huo Jingcheng suddenly lost his voice and asked, "What's wrong?" But Mrs. Joe is not good? After asking, Huo Jingcheng saw that everyone was staring at him, and he suddenly couldn't get off the stage, so he said: "Now, I just hope that Mrs. Qiao is safe and sound, and he will confront this matter in the future, and he should be able to return his mother's innocence." ”

"Alright, you get on with your business." Emperor Qiandi asked.

The guard said: "Your Majesty, it was Aunt Lianxiang next to the queen who committed suicide by hanging a beam in the room!" ”

"What?" The queen's face was full of surprise.

Everyone present also had different faces. One thing is really coincidental and sensitive.

The guard continued: "Back to Niangniang, back to Your Highness, this matter is true......"

"Impossible!" The queen interrupted the guard's words and said in disbelief: "It's okay to make incense before entering the forest to hunt in this palace!" Bengong ordered her to stay in the dining room of the wing courtyard and watch the bird's nest stewed by the fire! It has been less than an hour since the palace entered the forest, how could she suddenly commit suicide! ”

"Back to Niangniang, the people in the dining room said that Aunt Lianxiang looked at the fire for a while and left, until Niangniang's bird's nest was stewed and Aunt Xiangxiang was gone, and the people in the dining room went to her room to call her, who knew that when she pushed the door, she saw that she had committed suicide by hanging from the beam. Also, we found this letter in Aunt Nianxiang's room and put it on the table. The guard said, handing a snow-white letter.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on the letter.

The queen stared at the letter in a daze, her face gradually changing. At this juncture, there was another letter for no reason, or was it left by her aunt who had been with her for many years before she died, so is this letter friend or foe?

"Bring it in." Emperor Qiandao.

Huo Jingcheng watched the letter being delivered to Emperor Qian's hand, his handsome eyes became more and more dark, from the news of Lianxiang's death, he had already expected something, and at this moment he was not shocked, only mourning.

"Your Majesty!" The queen suddenly shouted, knelt on the ground again, held Emperor Qian's arm holding the letter with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, you and I have been married for thirty-one years, if you trust your concubines, don't read this letter, okay?" The death of Lian Xiang is so sudden, this letter is even more abrupt, this pile of piles comes one after another, Your Majesty, don't you see anything? ”

At this time, Huo Jingrou spoke up again: "Father, today's events are really coincidental and coincidental!" There must be an unknown inside story! I beg my father to believe in my mother, and don't pay too much attention to this! ”

Emperor Qiandi looked at the mother and daughter at his feet and said, "No one knows what is written on this letter, why are your mother and daughter like this?" ”

After that, he looked at the queen again and said, "The queen doesn't have to worry, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." ”

Seeing this, the queen looked at him in a daze for a long time, and finally hung down her hand weakly, and had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Emperor Qian opened the letter and read it.

There was silence in the middle of the harvest year. Everyone stared at Emperor Qian's complexion, not letting go of any of his expressions, even every blink of an eye, which also affected everyone's emotions.

Finally, under the attention of everyone, Emperor Qian's face really changed, first stunned, then deeply shocked and abrupt, and finally, depressed, disappointed, and heartbroken......

He slowly put down the letter, and a pair of starry eyes as deep as an eagle calmly looked at the crowd, and finally stopped at the queen's body. The emperor and queen looked at each other deeply.

Seeing his expressions, the queen was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, what does this letter say?" ”

Emperor Qian did not answer, but handed the letter to her. The queen took it slowly and read it until her hand holding the letter began to tremble involuntarily......

"Your Majesty! The concubine was wronged! The concubine was wronged! The queen looked at Emperor Qian with a shocked face and shouted injustice.

Emperor Qian's hand snatched back the letter from her, and said with a disappointed face: "You can still shout out a grievance." In the past, I was not without doubts in my heart, but today I saw this letter to solve my confusion, and finally suddenly realized. Dare Mo for so many years, I have always believed in non-people. ”

After that, Emperor Qian turned his head to look at everyone and made a simple statement: "There are many things in this letter, the first of which is that Lianxiang admitted that the queen instructed her to bribe the guards to assassinate. It wasn't until she heard that the assassin's guard had been captured alive that she was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she chose to commit suicide in fear of sin. But before she committed suicide, she also asked for some other things in the letter. Therefore, the queen is not virtuous, and the evidence is conclusive. Immediately escorted back to Beijing and banned in Fengtai Palace, and will not be allowed to go out, and I will discuss the matter after I return to the palace! ”

As soon as these words came out, the solemn atmosphere was in an instant, like a solid layer of ice suddenly being blown open, and ice droplets splashed. No one knew what the mysterious content of that mysterious letter was, which could make Emperor Qiandi immediately turn his face and deny people. The only thing I learned was that in addition to confirming the queen's assassination of the official wife, there were also several old things about the queen, saying that they were old things, but looking at Emperor Qian's reaction, it was better to say that the old sins were now turned over appropriately.

"Father!" Huo Jingcheng, who had been quiet, finally came to the middle and knelt on the ground, and said, "Father, what does this mean?" The queen mother has been with you for many years, and Kexian is loved by all the people, and no one is disrespected! The truth of the assassination has yet to be verified, and other things are not clear, and the father's negligent move is bound to be controversial! The sons are really terrified! ”

"Shut up!" Emperor Qian suddenly became furious, pointed at Huo Jingcheng and said, "Jingcheng, don't you know if it's white?" I tell you! This is not clear, this is the last bit of face I left to your mother! I am ashamed to show this letter to the public! There are many things that I know in my own heart! If anyone is against it, they are forcing me to show the queen's ugly deeds and ruin her reputation! ”

"Father!" Huo Jingrou pulled up the hem of his clothes and said earnestly: "Father, why do you believe what this letter says so much? What if the letter is full of slander? ”

"Jingrou! Lianxiang is an old man by your mother's side for 30 years! Moreover, there are many things in my own heart! Now it's confirmed! I don't reveal your mother's other crimes, but only one of the crimes of assassinating an official's wife to condemn the crime is already benevolent and righteous! Emperor Qiandi said bitterly, and immediately broke away from her.

Huo Jingcheng said again: "Father and emperor think twice! The queen mother has been married to you for 30 years, and you are like a sea! Since the father does not want to reveal the crime, he will be in peace with the heart of peace, and let it be tolerated if he can pass it! Also, the matter after the abolition is not trivial, it is related to the situation of the royal family, and it will affect the fortunes of the country at the worst! Wan Wang's father thinks twice! ”

At this time, Huo Jingxiao and Huo Jingyao also knelt down to intercede for the queen. Huo Jingcheng looked at the two of them with his peripheral vision, and a chill crossed his eyes.

At this time, Yun Ce slowly stood up and saluted: "If Your Majesty can trust the old minister, it is better to let the old minister take a look at this letter." ”

Emperor Qian turned his head to look at him and handed the letter over without hesitation. At this moment, everyone stared at Yun Ce's expression again, but he was not a person in the situation after all, and naturally he did not have a situation in the situation, so his expression was calm and unwavering.
